You were alive in the cnn newsroom, anja acosta in washington this morning across the country, College Campuses are bracing for more antiwar protests. Some of the images that harken back to generations ago, the source of today lets fury the israelhamas war and the growing civilian bloodshed in gaza over the weekend, more protests in more anger on ucla is campus yesterday demonstrators breached the Security Barrier meant to separate opposing protest groups. Police scrambled officers in riot gear on the Virginia Tech campus. Protesters were detained as the crowd chanted at police. Shame on you University Officials say the oncampus encampment had worsened with the potential to become unsafe arrests have been made at campuses nationwide as more schools turn to police, to rein in the demonstrators. Some schools are threatened to suspend students and could cancel upcoming commencement ceremonies. We have breaking news out of Columbia University to tell you about the epicenter of the College Protests a short time ago, School Official said talks with Student Organizers have failed to come to an Agreement Columbia is asking that protesters at the encampment, quote, Voluntarily Disperse, end quote, cnns omar our men as joins me from the columbia campus. Omar. Tell us what that means yeah. So jim, for starters, Columbia University said definitively today, they will not divest from israel, which of course has been at the center of the Encampment Led Protests here and university essentially hitting their negotiations with students are effectively over. Now i want to read part of the Statement Released by University President minouche shafik, which says in part both sides in these discussions put forward robust and thoughtful offers and worked in good faith to reach common ground. We thank them all for their diligent work, long hours, a careful effort, and wish they had reached a different outcome. Of course, no agreement here it goes on to say we urge those in the encampment to Voluntarily Dispersed. Were consulting with a Broader Group in our community to explore alternative internal options to end this crisis. As soon as possible. And that falls along similar lines. What were hearing from over 20 House Democrats now essentially urging the university to disband this encampment or essentially resign. Now, some key points here, because while columbia has said they will not divest in israel, they did offer an expedited timeline for new proposals in front of their body that does consider divestments. They also offered to him vest in health and education in gaza. They also said that while theyve worked hard to offer a constructive environment for dialogue and protests, the encampment has created an unwelcome environment for many jewish students to the point, so much so that many have felt unsafe on campus the president has described as a tragedy. And of course, were a little over two weeks from graduation and the university is saying definitively, they will have a commencement and part because some of these Graduating Seniors started remotely and we still havent heard from the students on how theyll respond for the clearly they plan to have this encampment done, or at least resolved by the time graduation gets here, whatever that may look like. All right. Omar jimenez. Thank you very much. Lets get that reaction right now. Joining me now is taiji vijay kumar. Shes the president of the Columbia College Student Council in for the sake of transparency, we should do. She was an intern last year with cnns parent company, Warner Brothers discovery. Taiji, hey, thanks for joining us. We appreciate what is your reaction to this announcement from colombia . Yeah i mean im not in on negotiations and its unfortunate that an agreement wasnt reached. Im not like particularly surprised, but im also glad that there was a commitment to not bring the nypd back onto campus . And the school is asking the encampment to voluntarily disburse. Do you think thats going to happen . Do you think people are to voluntarily just leave knowing columbia students . Its kind of hard to say. I think that some students, if theres a guarantee of their amnesty made, maybe but i have a feeling that students will either reroute or yeah, like continue in a different way and how do you think the School Administration is handling all of this right now. And what about the presence of the nypd . Yeah. I think the administration is like in a tricky spot. I dont know what they could be doing. Thats better other than negotiating differently, honestly, but i think that the presence of the nypd has been causing a real strain on campus. I know a lot of scenes go really, really unfaithful around the police. I know that especially with outside protesters and police officers, i know that a lot of students feel really overly surveilled here but yeah, i think that the Administration Made the right call and sending away again ipd and saying that they arent going to be invited back to campus two deal with the protester. I think that was the right decision and say, lets talk about what some of these protesters have been saying. That lets play a little bit of sound from a student there who is a leader of the propalestinian protests. Lets listen to that and talk about on the other side design is dont deserve to live comfortably, let alone zionists dont deserve to live taiji, i mean, this is something a lot of people are struggling with, are the leaders of these protests doing enough to send the message that antisemitism is wrong and not welcome on campus. Whats your view on that . Yeah. I mean, obviously thats like an a borons statement to make and i think i believe that there was an apology made for that statement of course, like not a signal that should be paid at all. I do know that there has been a lot of discussion on antisemitism within the protests. I think a Large Population of people who are in the encampment are jewish there have been Passover Seder is in Shabbat Dinners and people who teachings about antisemitism and educating like what it is to be actively not antisymmetric and stuff like that. So i know that their effort to make juicing to go welcome both on campus and within the encampment. Of course, theres no room for antisemitism on our campus whats going on here . I mean, why is it that you have students going at each other, that this is continuing . Is it that the protesters feel like theyre just not being heard and until they feel like theyre being heard, theyre just not going to give up these tents and move out. Can you put your finger on it . Yeah. I think a lot of it. Is that there are always calls for productive and respectful discourse. Of course, its hard to foster discourse when say youre not giving, giving a platform as students. So when, since for justice in palestine, we were suspended and just ways for peace, what else is spended like it kind of took away an avenue for students to really voiced beliefs. And i think thats what us to where we are now i also think that a lot of the real tension is not from the encampment, but from external protests too, are outside of our gauge. And our maybe using different and more extreme rhetoric than our sequence on yeah, i mean, that is the thing that i mean, obviously the propalestinian protesters are responding to whats happening in the news and folks ought to listen to that note. No question about it. But at the same time, theres just this feeling that theres some of these students just dont get it that you just cant say things that are antisemitic. And it just continues the cycle of people not listening to one another yeah i mean, i think that students are being receptive in like the response and the feedback that theyve been getting to their protests. I do think that there is probably like a difference in understanding of terminology that is at the root of what some protest mr. Think is antisemetic versus not antisymmetric but again, i dont really have much else to say about that all right, taiji, well have you back. Well continue the conversation thank you so much for your time this morning. We appreciate it. In an atlantic today, faculty at Emory University are beginning a No Confidence Vote on this schools president that move follows violent arrests on thursday, a number of Faculty Members have spoken out about the presence of police on campus and the tactics used by some of the officers to clear the Encampment Set Up by protesters. So as soon as nick valencia joins us now, nick, you were caught up in this violence. So just a few days ago, tell us more about the response from the university. Whats happening now . Yeah. Good morning, jim. The anger are the remnants of that anger is still left over here this morning, facilities crews were out here cleaning some graffiti here that was present on this side. But the real event, as you mentioned, happened here on thursday, were those Ceasefire Demonstrations turned very quickly into the violent arrests of 28 people, 20 of them with affiliations to the university. We were nearly arrested. But thankfully, we werent we were allowed to bear witness. We want to warn you this is what we saw and we want to warn you here the footage is very graphic et on the. Ground o type my losing circulation in my hands this man i didnt give two me all of that happened just a few hundred feet from where im standing right now. All of that outrage has boiled over and now University Faculty will host date No Confidence Vote against the University President. Here we understand the faculty will be given balance today, and that referendum will be tallied up on wednesday as symbolic move here by faculty to send a message to the University President that they dont have confidence in his leadership here in this institute of Higher Learning jim yeah, i still cant get over this professor who was thrown to the ground. What do we know about her . How is she doing and what is going on with the cops. There at emory . It just looks like very heavyhanded tactics for protests that was our First Impression on first blush. It seemed as though that they were outraged. They didnt think that everyone was part of Emory University. In fact, we understand at seven the morning, they asked people for their ideas. None of them provided the ids, so they lumped them all together related to the cop city protesters. And we know that is a different issue here, but its related those movements have some overlap. And it seemed as though police, when they approached the demonstrators, they just really held everyone, treated everyone with a heavy hand that professor karelin fallen. She was she spent the night into Cab County Jail along with 27 others. She was released on bond and very quickly here, jim, i spoke with some Defense Attorneys and over the weekend, emory officials are negotiating with Defense Attorneys and are considering dropping the charges against those involved on thursdays demonstration. Thats yet to be seen though jim my goodness, i just i cant i still cant get over that. Arent nick valencia. Thank you so much, really appreciate a great report in the meantime, in new york, at any moment, judge juan, were shawn could rule on whether donald trump violated the gag order in his historic criminal hush money trial. The trial is dark today, giving jurors and extra day two digest what they heard during the first full week of testimony on friday, the defense finished its crossexamination of former Tabloid Publisher david pecker tomorrow, Banker Gary Farro will resume his testimony. He is expected to walk through the jury, through the paper trail at the center of this trial, joining me now for more on this is cnn legal analysts former us attorney michael moore. Michael, were were waiting to see what the judge does on the gag order. It sort of feels like this has been taken a while. What do you think well im glad to be with you. This is sort of the sausage making of a trial. And judges deal with issues at their own speed. They decide when theyre going to make a ruling and the real issue on the gag order is that this has been an ongoing problem for trump. I mean, he just cant keep quiet, so probably about the time the judge decides he may do something or have a remedy in place, then that changes and maybe needs to be increased somewhat because there had been another statement, another comment on a witness and that type of thing in violation of the order i really think youre going to hear from the judges week about what he will do on the gag order. I think hes going to probably take trump out and woodshed him a little bit in the back and get on him and impose some kind of fine. I dont think we ought to be expected incarceration. I just dont think thats a likely outcome from this, but i think the judge will read it. The riot act gave him a fine and then at the same time, i think the judge is memory will be long and hell be thinking at the end of the trial, if in fact theres a the mixture when it comes to sentencing, these are the kinds of things that influenced judges is i think about whether or not somebody has accepted eight and responsibility, whether or not theres been a continued to phi us through the process. These are the kind of things can impact, uh, judges. They talk about what to do if theres a conviction and what about this upcoming banker testimony thats coming up, folks might be thinking, oh, that sounds like pretty dry chewing their and what do you think . My right okay. I think it will be like it would be pretty dry. Paper trails. Cases are just not excited. Cases. And so thats why its going to be important throughout this trial for the prosecutor to sort of keep the interest of the jury, pete, and hes going to need to lay out some good witnesses and sort of task on paper pieces to it. But when you get to bottom so get in the weeds on a piper case, you can lose a jury, especially for a trial thats expected to take six to eight weeks, even in a case like this, where this kind of historic importance. So i think this is just something he has to do. Its a Building Block is i think about well, how was this a Debit Cooperation set up . What kind of efforts went into making the paint . Payments to get in the account setup. These are things that begin to fill in pieces of the story. Certainly not the bulk of the prosecutions case, but they will likely intersperse some of this more dry testimony with things like michael cohen, things like pigs, witnesses like maybe stormy daniels, because you got to keep the jury engage. The fear is that you take a case that has a lot is sensational and turn it into something that you say that dry, it can lose a juries interest. Yeah, its not going to stay dry for a long. Thats for sure. I michael war. You thanks a lot, really appreciate it. All right. Still to come kristi noem on the defensive this morning after the south dakota governor admitted to shooting and killing her 14 monthold puppy could this hurt . Are chances that becoming trumps running a florida man is hospitalized, infected with anthrax sunday. This became the bureaus number one crying to solve how it really happened with jesse l.
